Smoking pipe



Patented Dec. 17, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SMOKING PIPE Milton Schnaier, New York, N." Application May 21, 1934, Serial No. 726,680

5 Claims.

My invention relates to improvements insmoking pipes, and the same has for its object to provide a pipe of the inverted type which is simple Further, said invention hasfor its object to provide a pipe including an inverted bowl, and a top member detachable. from said bowl whose interior forms a comparatively large receptacle or chamber between the bowl and the top mem -ber for initially receiving the smoke.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a pipe in which the bowl has a top member detachably secured thereto, and the latter provided with a recessed portion forming a smoke chamber, and a depending tubular portion having a collecting receptacle at its free end, and an angular shank intermediate its ends to receive one end of a mouth piece or bit.

Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter.

To the attainment of the aforesaid. objects and ends my invention consists in the novel features of construction, and in the combination, connection and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a side view showing one form of pipe constructed according to, and embodying my said invention;

Fig. 2 is a bottom view thereof, and

Fig. 3 is an enlarged central section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

In said drawing designates the bowl of the pipe which is substantially cylindrical in form and provided with a central opening or passage H extending the full length of the bowl. The bowl is provided at its upper end with'an annular recess l2 into which is rigidly fitted an interiorly threaded metal sleeve l3 whose upper edge is flush with the upper edge of the bowl IO.

M denotes the top comprising a circular portion it which corresponds in outline substantially with the upper end of the bowl l0, and has a circular recess I6, constituting a smoke chamber, inits' underside corresponding substantially to the passage I IV in the bowl H]. The underside of said circular-portion I5 is provided with an annular recess into which is fitted a metal sleeve l'ihaving-its'lower portion, which projects out- 5 wardly from the circular portion |5,.provided with screw threads adapted to engage with the interiorly threaded portion of the sleeve l3 of the bowl ill to hold said parts duly united.

From one side of the circular portion 55 extends outwardly and downwardly a tubular portion I8 'having' a passage l9 therein communicatingat its inner end Icentrally with the recess or smoke chamber I6. The outer, free end of said tubular portion I8 is provided with a reduced end to receive a cap l9 whose interior; together with the enlarged recessed portion of the tubular mouthpiece or bit 24.

Between the upper end of the bowl ID and the lower end of the sleeve ll of the top I4 is clamped a removable, dished strainer which serves to maintain the tobacco in the bowl [0 separated from the smoke chamber l6.

The lower, open end of the bowl I9 is provided at one side with an enlargement or projection 26 to receive one end of a shouldered screw 21 which extends through a perforated cover 28, and serves to hold the same rotatably secured to the bowl, and at its opposite side the bowl is provided with a pin 29 having a rounded head 39 adapted to be received by and frictionally engaged with a registering recess in the inner side of the perforated cover 28 to hold the cover locked to closed position.

The operation of the pipe will be largely obvious from the foregoing description. It is to be observed, however, that in filling the bowl with tobacco, the pipe should be inverted, i. e., the bottom of the bowl uppermost, and after the tobacco has been inserted therein and lighted, the cover 28 is closed. The pipe may then be held in the position illustrated at Figs. 1 and 3, and the smoke drawn upwardly into the smoke chamber l6, and thence through the tubular portion l8, shank 2|, and mouth piece 24. Any oils, distillates or condensates released or produced 55 by the burning of the tobacco will be carried off through the smoke receptacle l6 and tubular portion I8, and be absorbed by the cotton or absorbent material 20 in the receptacle I9, and allow the substantially dry smoke to be drawn through the shank 2| and mouth piece 24.

It is to be noted that the relatively large smoke receptacle l6 acts to receive the produced smoke in the first instance, and thereby serves to insure the passage of some air through the mass of tobacco in the bowl, and the continued burning of the tobacco upwardly within the bowl.

Having thus described my said invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having open upper and lower ends, a cover for said open lower end, a top member detachably secured to the open upper end of said bowl, an annular shoulder in the open, upper end of said bowl, a strainer supported on said shoulder, a tubular portion formed integrally with said top member and extending downwardly and outwardly therefrom, a collecting receptacle detachably secured to the lower end of said tubular portion, and a tubular shank extending outwardly from said tubular portion.

2. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having open upper and lower ends, a cover for said open lower end, a top memberdetachably secured to the open upper end of said bowl, an annular shoulder in the open, upper end of said bowl, a strainer supported on said shoulder, a tubular portion formed integrally with said top member and extending downwardly and outwardly therefrom, a collecting receptacle detachably secured to the lower end of said tubular portion, and a tubular shank located intermediate the ends of said tubular portion and extending outwardly therefrom.

3. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having open upperand lower ends, a cover tor said open lower end, a top member detachably secured to the open upper end of said bowl having a recess therein registering with the interior of said bowl and forming a smoke receptacle, a strainer in the upper end of said bowl separating the interior of said bowl from said smoke receptacle, a tubular portion extending downwardly and outwardly from said top member, a collecting receptacle detachably secured to the lower end of said tubular portion, a tubular shank extending angularly from said tubular portion and a mouth-piece extending from said tubular shank.

4. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl having open upper and lower ends, a cover for said open lower end, a top member, a strainer disposed between said bowl and said top member serving to, separate the same into two compartments arranged one above the other, means arranged partly in said bowl and partly in said top member for detachably securing said parts together, a tubular portion formed integrally with said top member and extending downwardly and outwardly therefrom, a collecting receptacle detachably secured to the lower end of said tubular portion, and a tubular shank extending outwardly from said tubular portion.

5. A smoking pipe comprising a bowl open at its upper and lower ends, a perforated cover pivotally secured to said bowl for closing said lower end, a screw threaded sleeve secured in the open, upper end of said bowl, a top member including a circular portion conforming to the upper end of said bowl, a recess therein forming a smoke chamber, a threaded sleeve secured in said recess engaging with the threaded sleeve of said bowl for securing said parts in assembled relation, a separate strainer disposed in the open, upper end of said bowl and maintained in place by said top member, a tubular member formed integrally with the circular portion of said top member and extending downwardly and outwardly therefrom, a collecting receptacle detachably secured to the free end of said tubular member, a shank extending laterally outward from said tubular member at a point intermediate the ends of said tubular member, and a mouth-piece secured to the end of said shank.
